Grade: 2
Pain while running, didn't go away after a few miles, actually became a little more painful. Lower part of the achilles.
Increased mileage and speed too abruptly (inexperience). Stopped running for 1 week, ran again and made it worst. Decided to rest, apply ice and do eccentric stretches. The combination of these three healed it (90%) in 3 weeks, and strengthened it...After 4 weeks pain was gone for good. During the healing period, I educated myself about running, how to increase mileage, endurance, stamina, etc. I also do warm up now and understand the importance of it! Eccentric stretches are the best!
